Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Kip-Force
A kip-force (kipf) is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. It is commonly used in structural engineering in the United States to describe the load-carrying capacity of structures and components.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
